Rome to fund 7,000 new trees through 10 million euro loan

The Rome municipal government, led by Mayor Gualtieri, has approved plans to plant approximately 7,000 new trees through two separate projects scheduled between late 2025 and 2027. The total investment for these urban greening initiatives amounts to approximately 10.17 million euros, which will be financed through municipal loans.

One project, valued at 4.5 million euros, aims to remove old stumps and plant 4,000 trees, with funding split between 2026 and 2027. A second project, valued at 5.67 million euros, focuses on replanting 3,000 trees and revitalizing street spaces. The estimated cost per tree is 1,125 euros, a figure that covers not only the purchase of the trees but also excavation, stump removal, and the restoration of flowerbeds.
